handmade celebration card

I have always heard that we (women) should always have in our closets a little black dress for a night out. Well, what about for men? Perhaps they should have a bow tie ready for wearing instead of a tie.

I love love love our glimmer paper. The pain is a heck of a whole lot less than actual glitter… LoL. The inspiration for these glimmery bow ties came from {MOJO} Monday 272 sketch design by Carole Burrage.

To make the bow ties I used the Petite Pennants Builder to punch out some Champagne Glimmer Paper. After I glued them together, I used the 1/2 circle punch to punch out some Silver Glimmer Paper to use as buttons in the middle of the two pennants cut out. I added a strand of 3/8″ Taffetta Ribbon to add a touch of color to my card.
